Death of a Niece of Burns.

Miss Isabella urns-Begg, the last rela-
tive of Robert Burns, died recently at her
matched cottage near Ayr, where she had
lived for half a century. She was niece
ofthe poet, being the daughter of his only
sister, who died in 1853 at the age of ninety,
and Miss Begg was eighty-four on the day
of her death. She was a clever, shrewd
woman, and her conversational powers
were remarkable, considering her humble
station in life. She received immense num-
bers of visitors, especially Americans, and
many distinguished men have expressed
their pleasure at having conversed with
her, as she had great deal of interesting
information to 1mpart. She possessed
large collection of Burns, relics.

Rnrning Of the St. Anthony Elevators.

Burning of the st. Anthony Elevators.
A few minutes before seven o'clock
Tuesday evening smoke and flames were
discovered bursting from the roof of
the main elevator of the st. Anthony
company's, adjoining the Manitoba
tracks in South Minneapolis. The watch
men turned on the pumps but the head
way of the flames was so great that all
efforts to check them was in vain.
Several alarms were speedily sent in and
fire apparal us from tive engine houses
started for the scene. The buildings,
however, were remote from the center
of the city and the roads leading to them
were sandy. Before the heavy engines
could reach the fire the elevator proper
was enveloped in flames. The two
great storehouses-AnnexA A and Annex
C--caught fire in short time, and by
eight o'clock the three buildings were
all ablaze.
4 futile effort was made to save the
great storehouse-annex A. At 1880
O'Clock the destructive element began
its steady aud irresistible movement
along the tramway to the storehouse.
There was no use in trying to keep it
back. The heat from the burning
building was intense. BY eight O'Clock
the flames had enveloped at least one
third Of the building, and fremen had
nothing to do but to protect adjoining
property. There were no residences for
several hundred feet from the buildings.
There were no waller mains III the
neighborhcod, and the single stream
which was played was had by damming
Bridal Veil Creek. .he Water VAS
thrown against theironsheeted side of
the monstrous building, and of course
had no effect. The flames swept along
the top OF the great storehnuse and then
gradually down the great bins. How
the fire originated is wrapped in
mystery. The secretary of the company
has furnished the following statement
of losses and insurance.:

One Of the 'boom" towns ufs0uthern

of the city, and many fne residences

push, and zeal shown in various ways
for their city's best interests-for its
rapid advancement, and, in a general
way, for it's greatest good. Rev. D.

connection with the church and under
it's direct care are the following women IS
societies: Holy Rosary, Young Ladies
Sodallty and Holy Angels, each in it's
way very successful and having large
membership. The Convent school on
Bridge street and West Main, is an
institution of learning we'll worthy the
excellent support it is receiving.
Among the old settlers of Austin is
Patrick Geraghty, having come here in
1867. He is an Irishman by birth,
generous and wholesouled in nature.
Atpresent Mr.. Geraghty is street com-

of the years spent in Austin. His
